ed by Fuller X Peet. He afterward built the drug store now occupied by W. H. Camp. He was surpsised at the changes and improvements made in Canaan with IT years, but he discovered that the majority of his old friends are sleeping in the lower cemetery.
 -One of our society young men whose paternal relative objects to danc ing, was about to attire himself in his Sunday -go-to-meetin suit and attend the ball on Thanksgiving night, when To and behold his coat and vest were not on their usual peg. After searching an hour or more for them he concluded that some guardian angel" had hid them to prevent him from going to the dance. Not to be "knocked out" by any little thing like that he donned the ministerial garb of his father and started after his girl, arriving at the house just as she had divested herself of her ball robes. thinking that as it was getting so late he was not coming after her, but after explaining the situation she concluded that he was not to blame for the delay, and attiring herself in the gay ball dress they started for the dance, arriving a little late, but the time was all put in after they got there, the "paternal coat" seemingly taking to the "mazy dance" as readily as it ever did to a prayer meeting.
 Despite the disagreeable weather of Thanksgiving night over 50 couple attended the social dance given at town hall, under the auspices of the W. o. F. 5. club, which was pronounced by all present as one of the pleasantest occa- sions of the kind ever held in town. The company was large, but the best of order prevailed throughout the entire night, everybody seemingly being bent on having more fun than anybody else, the girls all looked nice, dressed nice, danced nice, smiled sweetly, and in fact done all in their power to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. The oom- mittee in charge deserve the thanks of the entire company for the quiet and orderly manner in which everything passed of. After two or three hours of busy work upon the floor someone perched himself upon chair and announced Supper at the Warner House P The company needed no fur ther invitation, tor the greater part of them knew from experience that supper at "Ed's" meant tight-fitting wristbands after they got through, and this proved no exception to the rule, and the amount of turkey, chicken, etc., which was slowed away was surprising, yet there was "enough h and to spare. Although everything connected with the occasion was pleasant, yet the most pleasing and satisfactory feature was the music by L. V. Barnard's orchestra, of Pittsfeld, Mass, and we hear of one or two couple who went to the dance just to look on, but after hearing the orchestra play two or three pieces. they seemingly forgot that they were subject to '' rhematics," and taking their places on the floor seemed to be "just as young as they ever were," one of them remarking at the close of the last set :: We'll, now you know nothing in the world but that splendid music would ever induced me to dance," and this seemed to be the sentiment of the whole company as they all pronounce the orchestra the best that ever played in this town.
